‘He mocked you so bad’- YouTuber Deji thrashed for saying he gave Floyd Mayweather a ‘black eye’: Floyd Mayweather secured yet another impressive victory in his fifth exhibition fight by stopping YouTuber Deji in round six of their recent main-event clash in Dubai. ‘Money’ didn’t break much sweat and had a pretty easy night against Deji. After attacking the YouTuber’s body in the first two rounds, ‘Money’ landed some crisp and powerful shots.

However, Deji also responded with a few of his own, which injured Floyd Mayweather’s eye. The YouTuber flexed about it on social media, touting how he could give a ‘black eye’ to Floyd Mayweather.

Floyd Mayweather vs. Deji was a win-win fight for both sides
Deji, a YouTuber, is nowhere close to Floyd Mayweather when it comes to boxing parameters. If exhibition bouts didn’t exist, it would have been hard to fantasize about a clash between the two. That said, it was a massive opportunity for Deji to trade shots with one of the best boxers of all time. He also earned a lucrative payday.

Although the exact financial numbers aren’t out, it is assumed that Deji bagged somewhere near $4 million from his latest exhibition clash against Floyd Mayweather. Meanwhile, ‘Money’ Mayweather has earned approximately $20-$30 million from the fight. It is also reported that Floyd Mayweather was guaranteed $10 million along with 80% of the PPV shares. Hence, some reports cite his earnings from the Deji fight to have gone up to $150 million.
Floyd Mayweather hung his gloves professionally in 2017 after knocking out Conor McGregor. Having set an unscratched resume of 50-0, ‘Money’ is yet to bid goodbye to the sport of boxing. He has been actively participating in exhibitions and after his last performance, he doesn’t seem to be leaving the trend anytime soon. He has been eyeing big paydays throughout his career and continues to do so in his post-retired life.
